hello all,
I own lg g2 with updated 5.0.2 lollipop stock rom. now after a while that the phone is getting stuck all the time I finally decided I wanna move to cm 13.
so after working half a day on rooting, I finally succeeded, but now after another two hours of working I can't find a way to replace the recovery.
I tried lots of different ways (adb ways with loki, or flashing with flashify/rashr) but after successful flash and reboot into recovery I got error and the recovery couldnt start.
After some research I found out that I need to unlock my bootloader (something I done long back with my nexus 5), but I couldnt find any method of doing so, because all the methods I found was for the kitkat stock rom.
and worse of all I think I cant even downgrade because Im with the dead end lollipop...
so I would like to find out how can I manage to replace my phone's rom? in which part am I wrong?
have you tried to use AutoRec? it does the process automatically and works on stock lollipop. get it here only root is needed for it to work.

Hi all,
Let me try to walk you through everything that I've done to try and get some help here.
I have an lg g2 sprint (lg-ls980)
1. When I got it I first upgraded to android 4.4.2
2. Then I rooted using stump root
3. I installed xposed and a few xposed modules....I then decided Id rather have a different rom, so
4. I used autorec (which to my understanding changed my kernel in order to workaround boot loader and install twrp? is that accurate?)
5. Booted to twrp, wiped data and installed cyanogenmod and gapps
After this I get stuck and can't boot past the lg logo, so I booted back to recovery and restored my backup. So I did the same and tried pacrom this time with the same results.
I then decided that if I'm going to be stuck with stock rom I at least want my knock on back, so I flashed the patched kernel and same thing- stuck at lg logo....
I know I downloaded the correct zip files and placed them on the root, and always wiped before flashing.
Then I went into download mode on the lg support tool to try to get back to factory, but it says my firmware and recovery is up to date. The odd thing is that the lg support tool shows my phone as ls740 rather than ls980... is this because of something that autorec changed? Do I need to download zip files for ls740 instead? So confused..
About phone in my g2s settings shows android version 4.4.2 and kernel version 3.4.0
Anyways, if anyone could help me to successfully get one of these roms to flash and get back to the kernel that supports the knock code I would really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance!
Hi Folks,
My apologies if this has been covered before. I was unable to use the forum search and after 3 hours of reading and tinkering, I haven't gotten very far.
I have a fair bit of flashing experience with multiple devices and was under the impression that the Tmo G2 is very easy to flash.
I have a new Tmo D801. The version on the phone when received was 4.4.2. After much scouring of XDA, I found I needed to go back to 4.2.2 to root, flash TWRP and put a new custom ROM down. After more scouring, I managed to use the TOT method of downgrading the Android software to 4.2.2 and that was successful. I used IORoot to root the device, but per many instructions, I never saw the recovery menu. I have tried multiple ways to boot in to recovery. When doing a command line "adb reboot recovery", the little android with the blue wire frame shows up briefly and then the phone goes to the LG icon, then in to the stock 4.2.2 firmware.
What am I doing wrong? I've read through a number of threads including the following:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2701799
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2432476
I haven't taken the OTA that keeps coming up on the phone.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I got this figured out.
I downloaded an older version of TWRP and installed via Flashify in the OS. Once that was installed, I upgraded TWRP to 2.8 and went through the whole process of upgrading to kitkat, re-rooting, installing AutoRec to get TWRP back on, upgrading TWRP and installing a new CloudyG2 ROM. Everything seems to be working great.

Please help needed!!
I'm stuck here for 3 days
Ok I'm going to tell everything I did,,
My Gionee E7 is indian version.
First I rooted my phone with kingo Root.
Than I flashed CWM chinese version.
I upgraded my system to kitkat and changed the recovery to stock.
I used it for a week than some how my music player and gallery were corrupted.
I don't have any rom so I download one but it was in chinese, flashed it to my gionee. than after rooting,,
I flashed the CWM, same I flashed weeks ago
Here my problem started :crying:
The CWM is not starting. I used recoery tool to boot into recovery after boot up it shows black screen. I used every method holding Vol+ and power button but the same result.
than I tired to get back to my stock recovery but it does the same.
flashed many times both recoveries but didn't worked.
I searched a lot and find a TWRP. I flashed it and wow it worked Finally I can boot into recoery mode.
Now I find the Nandroid backup of indian version. I made it a zip and flashed it through twrp.
My phone is back to indian version but its slow, not too much but its slow; camera, gallery and other apps take some time to open. I can't make or rcv phone calls. Now what i did is download the update form System update.
Now i got kitkat rom.zip but twrp failed to install it.
Some one on the internet was saying that its the problem with my Kernel. I have the latest kernel so CWM won't work cuz it uses old kernel and display drivers.
My
android version is 4.2.2
Kernel version is 3.4.0-svn2155
I also got TWRP for lolipop,
and I patched binary_update in my kitkat rom too but TWRP can't flash it

Hello my friend, please help me.
I am trying to flash stock inidan rom 4.2 but.. I installed all CWM for E7 found on the internet and I am getting black screen. I managed to Install TWRP but TWRP cannot flash the rom that I need to flash. I flashed a chinese 4.2 but is piece of garbage..
gngc-download-tool said that the com port is closed.
I have windows 64 is this the problem causing gngc not working?
No its not, it is working on 64bit windows very well.
In TWRP factory reset and format system and data, than install
Chinese 4.2 ROM. After that boot it and try it again.
It should work!

Help
I just rooted my gionee elife e7. Flashed the chinese recovery which seemed to be the only one which would be compatible. But, while changing a few setting using pimp my rom, the software just stopped working. Errors keep showing up on the screen - "system.ui is not working", "android app is not working", I cannot even go the settings because "settings is not working". Third party apps still seem to work, so, whatsap and stuff continue to function. Doing a factory reset or flashing firmware again seem to be the only viable option.
But, when I try to load up the bootloader using the power and volume keys, it gets stuck on the screen showing the gionee logo and it reads 'fastboot mode' in the bottom left hand side corner. So,
a. can you offer any advice which may be useful ?
b. can you share the link from where you got a TWRP recovery which will work on the Elife ?
c. do you have any idea what exactly went wrong here ?
Any help you can provide will be appreciated because, it's my mausi's phone and I will have a very tough time explaining what really went down here.
Regards,
I aware that this is E7 section, but I have problem after tried to flash stock rom of a E7 (maybe this is a stupid thing to do)
Blu life pure XL is a rebrand E7, I believe, that's why I use many custom rom of E7 for my pure XL. and after update it to KitKat (using E7 rom of course) It didn't recognize sim card, and I tried to find a way to downgrade it back to 4.2.2
Couldn't find US version stock rom so I went with Gionee E7 stock rom and it's stuck with bootloop state.
I tried some ways :
-Get in recovery mode and use ADB to sideload a Rom -> not works
-Tried to replace stock recovery with custom recovery with fastboot mode -> not works to, cmd keep saying <waiting for device> and nothing happened
The thing is that I stuck with stock recovery of this Rom and can't go any further in this situation.
Any suggestion? please help..
c'on guys, I'm noob and I really need help here, anyone lend me a hand?

Thanks for your reply, finally someone replied me.
But I don't care about KitKat or Lollipop anymore, I tried to flash stock rom of E7 for my phone and now it stuck with bootloop, tried several ways but haven't got it work again
God, already planed to buy a new phone, but
Finally 've got out of this situation. It kept bootlooping because my effort to downgrade it to 4.2.2 was completely failed. My last attempt was applying the kitkat update package through ADB sideload, and It's boot up again with KitKat .
Well, I've found the US stock rom for my phone and I want to try to downgrade it to 4.2.2 again, but if it falls through and stuck in bootloop state again, I don't think I can get it back to life with that update package because that package is for Indian rom.
Any suggestion to help me downgrade my phone? Please, guys, I'm novice and completely noob, I really need help.
Dear Seniors.
I am facing great hardship because my phone is stuck at boot logo.
No booting in recovery mode to flash another rom.
I did unlock bootloader of it by using tuliptool with success. After that i flashed custom rom in it. after reboot it is happening that.
Please suggest to recover it.
Did you flash twrp after unlocking? Did you make backup of stock ROM? Perhaps find a version of the factory firmware and flash that.
Dear I have no backup and i flashed TWRP recovery.......
It is to aware you that i did relock bootloader now my phone is working properly. but i am unable to enter recovery mode. !!!
Now my phone is running android 6.0.1 B02
But i am failed to root this rom uptill now due above mentioned problem.

I found software update notification but when i update an error accruing while update. (This update not compatible with this device"
In easy words......... my recovery.img has been corrupted. I have no idea to get rid of this situation.
I planned to unlock my Mini's bootloader this weekend. After reading this post, I decided to act later until the root cause has been figured out.

Several people myself included have been able to use tuliptool to successfully unlock and root the device.
mine is hard bricked too. but I think it is worse than the case listed on the op.
if you want to hard bricked these are the steps:
follow the procedure to install the Spanish ROM 6.1, than another android m b12, than finally the android seven......use tulip tool and install twpr fine, root ect. amazing ROM.......buuuuut......I lost my IMEI somewhere in this process, and the original FTM which had a small menu changes to another static one, without the menu.
I needed this menu to open the com port to fix the IMEI. than I had the brilliant idea to re-flash android M via twrp (without modifying the zip file to remove the recovery, something I knew so well from the older axon mini).
results:
-lost twpr because the stock ROM wrote over it,
-cannot boot the OS because I flashed android m but the phone had the aboot 7.
-i now have a brick
I need a genious to sujest something to bring it back to life........sh....t...sh...t.....sh...t
any chances I could inject aboot7 via ADB through my dead recovery which somehow the phone recognises? ADB shell still seems to be working
thanks
